New member in Prescott AZ area

[David Koopman]

Just moved to Williamson Valley (Prescott) Arizona with my wife and two children in July 2016. My kids are 10 and 12 years old and attending Granite Mountain and Prescott Mile High schools. I've worked at GoDaddy in Scottsdale AZ for 14 years in a variety of technical and management roles, developing small business web applications. GoDaddy has been wonderful, and now I'm looking to get started in real estate investing, while continuing to work for GoDaddy. I'm super new to real estate, only have experience buying/selling my own primary residence. Thinking of getting real estate license, but struggling with finding the time for the classes. Looking for the best way to get started in real estate investing in a community friendly way.

On a side note, love to offroad with Jeep and Blazer. Taking the family on some dirt roads up the west side of Granite Mountain today. We live on the east side and can see Granite Mountain from our house, and are super curious what its like on the west side!  Although today's adventure will be very easy, we often seek out difficult trails.
